Spravato® Treatment for Depression in Texas
Urgent Psych Rx – Advanced Relief When Antidepressants Aren’t Enough
If you’ve tried antidepressants and still struggle with depression, you are not alone. Millions of people experience treatment-resistant depression, where traditional medications do not provide
enough relief.
At Urgent Psych Rx Texas Location, we offer Spravato® (esketamine) treatment, an
FDA-approved breakthrough therapy designed specifically for individuals who have not
responded to conventional antidepressant medications.
Spravato works differently than traditional antidepressants and may help patients experience faster and more significant symptom improvement, even when other treatments have failed.
What Is Spravato®?
Spravato® is an FDA-approved nasal spray medication that contains esketamine, a medication derived from ketamine. It works on the brain’s glutamate system, helping restore neural connections that can be disrupted in depression.
Unlike many antidepressants that may take weeks to work, Spravato may begin helping some patients within days.
Spravato is approved for:
• Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD)

Treatment must be administered in a REMS-certified medical facility, where patients are
monitored for safety during and after each treatment session.

Spravato Treatment FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Spravato® Treatment in Texas
Spravato® is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray containing esketamine, a medication used to treat treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
Unlike traditional antidepressants that primarily affect serotonin, Spravato works on the brain’s glutamate system, helping restore neural connections that are often impaired in depression.
Spravato is administered only in a certified medical facility under clinical supervision, such as the Spravato Treatment Center at Urgent Psych Rx.
Treatment-resistant depression occurs when a patient has tried two or more antidepressant medications without adequate improvement.
Many individuals with treatment-resistant depression continue to struggle with symptoms including:
• persistent sadness
• low motivation
• fatigue
• sleep disturbances
• difficulty concentrating
• loss of interest in activities
Spravato was specifically developed for patients who have not experienced relief with standard antidepressant medications.
Spravato works differently than traditional antidepressants.
Instead of targeting serotonin alone, Spravato affects NMDA receptors and glutamate signaling in the brain, which may help restore healthy communication between brain cells.
This mechanism may allow some patients to experience faster improvement in depressive symptoms compared to conventional antidepressants.
Some patients report improvement within days or weeks, while others experience gradual improvement over the first several treatment sessions.
Individual responses vary depending on:
• severity of depression
• treatment history
• other medications
• overall mental health condition
Your provider will monitor progress throughout treatment.
Spravato is delivered as a nasal spray during supervised treatment sessions.
Each appointment includes:
1. Administration of the medication
2. Monitoring for safety
3. Observation period lasting approximately two hours
Patients must arrange transportation home after treatment because driving is not allowed the same day.
Spravato treatment typically occurs in two phases.
- Induction Phase: Twice weekly sessions for the first 4 weeks
2. Maintenance Phase: Weekly or every two weeks depending on response.
Your provider will personalize the treatment plan based on clinical progress.
Spravato has been studied in multiple clinical trials and approved by the FDA for specific forms of depression.
Common temporary side effects may include:
• dizziness
• dissociation
• nausea
• mild sedation
• increased blood pressure
Patients are monitored during treatment to ensure safety and comfort.
Many commercial insurance plans cover Spravato treatment when medical criteria are met.
Urgent Psych Rx works with many major insurance providers including:
• Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Aetna
• UnitedHealthcare
• Cigna
